Growing up in Virginia, Brunswick stew was definitely a part of the dinner table on more than one occasion.

From the famous Mrs. Fearnow’s “yellow can” (made in VA!) to local church & school Brunswick stew sales around town (it’s a tradition to make huge cauldrons of the stew for fundraising) – Brunswick stew is just about as Virginia as can be IMO!

Wellllll, technicallyyyyyy there is a debate of whether it originated in Brunswick County, VA or Brunswick, GA if we want to go there.

But who’s into technicalities anyway? 😉

Now if you’ve never heard of or had Brunswick stew, I’ll highlight the important facts for you:

One that I’m very thankful for since this morning I was not feeling so hot again. Another trip to the doctor and lots of rest later, seems like things are looking up finally! Hoping I can shake this thing once and for all 😛
